Thank You Cards 101314

Thank you cards are so useful, I think they are my go to card when I just want to create. Below are four different cards to share. The first and last cards I'm using to participate in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge blog. This week's challenge was about water coloring.

I kept it simple yet colorful. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment with clear embossing powder on a piece of water color paper. using some of my distress mini ink pads and aqua painter brush to color on top of it. Used the craft card base and a strip of white card stock to bring out the sentiment.

I really kept this one real earthy. Stamping the craft base and left the canvas sticker uncolored. I stamped the sentiment on a strip of paper to make it into a banner. Lastly I used a decal for the faux stitching.

On this last one I stamped the background writing in yellow then used one of my embossing folders and stamped the sentiment in grean. I also colored the edges of the card base very lightly in green.

This last one I used my distressed markers to water color this fabulous stamp from Inkadinkadu that was stamped on water color paper. I fuzzy cut it and cut two small slits and used a string to attach the little thanks a bunch note. I glued it to my white base card that had been embossed with an embossing folder to frame it.
